2016-2024 Form

I strongly recommend purchasing a tax program, Turbo tax, H&R block etc.These programs will ask you questions and they will fill out the forms for you.You just print it out and mail it in. (with a check, if you owe anything)I used to use an accountant but these programs found more deductions.

I hate when people ask a question, then rather than answer, someone jumps in and tells them they don't need to know--but today, I will be that guy, because this is serious.Why oh why do you think you can do this yourself?Two things to consider:People who get a masters degree in Accounting then go get a CPA then start doing taxes--only then do some of them start specializing in international accounting.  I've taught Accounting at the college-level, have taken tax classes beyond that, and wouldn't touch your return.Tax professionals generally either charge by the form or by the hour. Meaning you can sit and do this for 12 hours, or you can pay a CPA by the hour to do it, or you can go to an H&R Block that has flat rates and will do everything but hit Send for free.  So why spend 12 hours doing it incorrectly, destined to worry about the IRS putting you in jail, bankrupting you, or deporting you for the next decade when you can get it done professionally for $200-$300?No, just go get it done right.

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

Recent statistics that I've seen indicate that about 66% of electronically filed returns are filed by paid preparers.  This doesn't necessarily mean that these filers don't have the intelligence but it does indicate that they have a level of discomfort and anxiety and prefer the solace of having a paid preparer fill out and transmit the forms. It all depends on the level of complexity of the form.  For the young wage earner living at home with his or her parents, who is able to operate a computer and can operate simple tax return software, I would think that 80% should be intelligent enough to fill out tax forms.  Especially because the software is designed to prompt and assist (and check the arithmetic).One of America's most respected jurists, Judge Learned Hand, offers a more thoughtful observation on the law of taxation: ‘In my own case the words of such an act as the Income Tax ... merely dance before my eyes in a meaningless procession; cross-reference to cross-reference, exception upon exception—couched in abstract terms that offer no handle to seize hold of—leave in my mind only a confused sense of some vitally important, but successfully concealed, purport, which it is my duty to extract, but which is within my power, if at all, only after the most inordinate expenditure of time. I know that these monsters are the result of fabulous industry and ingenuity, plugging up this hole and casting out that net, against all possible evasion; yet at times I cannot help recalling a saying of William James about certain passages of Hegal [sic]: that they were no doubt written with a passion of rationality; but that one cannot help wondering whether to the reader they have any significance save that the words are strung together with syntactical correctness.’ Ruth Realty Co. v. Horn, 222 Or. 290, 353 P.2d 524, 526 n. 2 (Or. 1960) (citing 57 Yale L.J. 167, 169 (1947)), overruled on other grounds by Parr v. DOR, 276 Or. 113, 553 P.2d 1051 (Or. 1976). The Humorist Dave Barry had this observation "The IRS is working hard to develop a tax form so scary that merely reading it will cause the ordinary taxpayer's brain to explode.” His candidate for the best effort so far is Schedule J Form 1118 "Separate Limitation Loss Allocations and Other Adjustments Necessary to Determine Numerators of Limitations fraction, Year end Recharacterization Balance and Overall Foreign Loss Account Balances"And don’t forget this observation from Albert Einstein “The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax. “  So if Al had trouble understanding taxes, I don't see how a mere mortal has any chance.
